I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I got some time off, but only a little. Thursday was the only day I didn't have to work or go to school, so yipee! Today, I just really wanted to do some crafting, so I made this cute little tag:

The tag is from the "Sweet Treats" cartridge. It is cut at 4.23"x2.38."

The donkey is called BaDonkey Donk. I sized the donkey to fit the card, which makes him about 4 3/4" tall. I covered his hooves, eyes, and mouth with glossy accents. I used the "Celebrations" Cricut cartridge to create the party hat. I sized it so that it would fit on the donkey's head. I added some yellow Stickles to the pom-pom on the hat. The balloons are also sized to fit. They are from the "Just a Note" Cricut cartridge (which came already linked to my previous Cricut Expression).

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom. It is on the Party Animal stamp set. I finished off the front of the card with some pink, orange, and green sequins.

The card is a cut file from SVG Cuts. It is part of the Mistletoe Manor set. I cut it at 5 1/2" wide, which made it about 4 7/8" tall when folded. The reindeer is glued to the card base at the bottom and the rest of the head is popped up with foam tape for a little dimension. I also covered the eye in glossy accents.

The sentiment is stamped on vellum that is placed behind the pre-cut hole in the card. I used a stamp from the Hello Deer set by Jaded Blossom. I finished off the front of the card with some red bling.

I stamped a sentiment on the inside as well. This one is from My Craft Spot, the Joy to the World set, which is no longer available.
